Ebony Archie, the mother of slain 6-year-old Kingston Frazier, failed to immediately inform police that her son was in a vehicle that had been stolen as she shopped at Kroger. The boy was later found dead in the recovered vehicle.

Hinds County Sheriff Victor Mason told reporters that a deputy observed Archie exit the grocery store at about 2:30 a.m. Thursday. Archie approached the deputy and said that her car was missing, and authorities began an auto theft investigation. It was not until later Archie told authorities that her son was in the car, he said.
